Birmingham Phoenix vs Welsh Fire

Coming back to the match, the hosts Birmingham Phoenix thrashed the Welsh Fire by 10 wickets. The classy Eve Jones (52*) and Team India's stalwart Shafali Verma (76*) helped themselves to impressive half-centuries each as they knocked off the runs with comparative ease to keep their qualification hopes alive.

For all of their faults in the field last Wednesday against the Oval Invincibles, in which coach Ben Sawyer described the dropping of catches as ‘infectious’, the Phoenix dusted themselves off here and went again to put together a quite brilliant collective display with the ball.

For the Welsh Fire, opener Bryony Smith was the top scorer as she scored 38 runs from 36 balls with the help of 4 boundaries and 1 six. Kirstie Gordon took the maximum number of wickets - 2 wickets for Birmingham Phoenix.
